Richard,

I have the utmost respect for your earlier efforts which were of unquestionableimportance for the dawn of the free software movement. Can't say the same foryour sick GNU/Linux rant though. But considering this is the linux-kernel_development_ list (let alone the fact that this discussion stinks) I do thinkit would be a much better move if you and your zealots would go away and(perhaps) actually go do some CODING on your GNU/Hurd/whatever instead. Allthis ranting is more than likely why it got started in 1990 and it's still notnear finished.
